What an Idea.

We heard a gentleman make use
OF an expression a few days since
about the Interstate Commerce bill
that we think is very ERRONEOUS.
He said:
"The long haul will injure the
farmers of this country, in as much
as 1t will increase the ireightS on
provisions shipped from the West,
and that the farmers could buy
these things cheaper than they
could raise them" We claim that
if this "long haul" will increase the
prices of corn, -four and meat it
will force the farmers of this coun.
ty to raise their own provisions.
This idea of buying rations cheap,
er in the west than they can be
raised in this country is the very
thing that has bankrupted the far.
mers of Southwest Georgia. They
have but one thing to pay for
them with and that is with cotton
money. If cotton will not paw for
itself. in the name of common,
sense, how are we to expect for it
to buy our meat and bread?

The Claim for Bstterments,

There is no doubt, but that the
State owes the lessees of the State
Road something for betterments,
and the Legislature will not hest
tate to pay it. But when Presi-
dent Brown claims that they have
q right to take away the new steel
rails and replace them With old,
worn out iron rails, simply because,
when they took possession of the
road, they found that kind on the
road bed, be will find that the State
will seriously object. The lessees
of this road weuld have no more
right TO do this than man who
repts farm and puts a new fence
around it, in order to make crop,
would have TO remove the fencing
&C the end of the year. If the
lessees should attempt to remove
any, improvements on the road bed
we believe that Governor Gordon
would resist them, even if he had
TO order out the Militia of the
Etsse. p
1t seems that the proper way to
view this subject, is to take a mon
ey value of the property when the
lesaees took possession of the road
and what it is worth now For
instance, Senator Brown claims
that the engines that the lessees
got with the road, were small and
OF but little service and had to be
replaced with new ones that are
capable of doing much more work.
The same way with the car boxes,
the ten ton ones have been res
placed with those of forty tons
capacity, &c. Let the State value
the old engines and car boxes at
what they were worth when the
road was leased, and value the new
and larger ones at what they are
worth to-day, and pay the lessees
the difference.

Grapes by the Car Load in the
West.

Mr.. John Simons, of Simons IL
Drummond, reports a very impor-
tant event of yesterday. Said he:
For the first time a car load of
Georgia grapes has been shipped
to Chicago, and have dispatch
here which says they are selling at
twelve cents a pound in Chicago.
and are in good demand, They
bring only four cents a pound
here, aud it costs one and a halt
cents pound to get them to Chi
cagO ON the new fast freight of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad.
This opens up a new field to our
Georgia vineyards
Can the prices be sustained ?
Think so. They make a nice
profit tor the grower. This fast
freight train carries the grapes
through in thirty-six hours, which
is almost equal to express time,
and at about one third the cost of
expressage. Ifthe car load ship
ped Thursday proves a success,
several cars will be shipped next
week, carrying our luscious incOm-
parable Georgia grapes to the hot
and thirsty people of the north
west. Constitution.
Let the farmers Of Georgia try
what they viii and they will find
out that any kind of a crop pays
better than cotton, except when
raised az a surplus.

SUBSCRIBER.

Georgia is not a cotton state and
we predict that in a few years, the
farmers of this country, who are
devoting their time and attention
to this staple, will have turned
their lands into stock farms, orch.
ards, truck farms, &c. We can
not pay for fertilizers and compete
with the rich lands of Texas, Miss.
issippi and Louisiana. This change
will be made and farmers who lead
the procession will be the ones most
independent. Do not wait until
every body has tried this before
you tall into ranks, but try it now,
you have tried cotton and know
that there is no money in it, what
is the use IN fearing to turn your
attention to something else. You
cannot be any worse off and the
chances are for brighter pros

Prohibition.

Prohibition is making rapid
strides in Georgia, and the day
must surely come when the sale Of
whisksy viii be entirely abolished.
Ten years ago, who of us would
have thought that the few cranks,
ms they were then called. would ac-
complish 30 much, in this time, in
prohibiting the sale of whiskey in
Georgia. Men laughed at theidea
of voting whiskey out of the state,
and considered every nan fanatic
that was on the prohibition side.
These same fanatics have increased
in number until, to-day, they are
counted by the thousands in Geor-
gia, and they have worked 80 zeal>
Ously that their cause has prosper
ed beyond their expectation.
When Atlanta was voted dry, the
prohibitionists of Georgia scored a
victory that gave them encourage.
ment and made them feel that sue
cess was certain. Since that time
Recorder Anderson, has driven
several wine room men from the
business, and the prohibitionists
have contributed money to aid the
Detective force in bringing viola-
tiers of the law to justice and there
by prove that prohibition is not a
failure in Atlanta.
The last election in Georgia was
held in Floyd and the prohibition
lists carried the county by over 500
majority. This victory has given
the people of Savannah encourage.
ment to try their luck in a prohi-
bition contest and after this, other
counties will follow. until there is
not wet county in the State.
This subject is being agitated,
not only in Georgia, but there are
other States, in which the prohibi-
tionists are working to drive strong
drink from the land. If Texas,
where the contest is hottest, and
nearly every one is taking hand
in it, votes whiskey out, then it
seems that the whole United States
would become revolutiOnized and

The star did not find out about
